Hawaii Five-0 (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Mea Makamae - full transcript

The team discovers that a dead salvage diver was looking for more than sunken treasure, Chin Ho discovers that Kono accessed his police account, and McGarrett becomes curious about what's delaying the DOD findings about his father.

[CROWD CHATTERING]

WOMAN:
What is that?

MAN: Come on. Get out of the water.
Look out.

Hey! Behind you. It's a shark.

- No!
- Aah!

[LAUGHS]

Aaron, that wasn't funny.

You're the only one
who isn't laughing.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Lifeguards will kick you out if they see.

- Yeah, whatever, Liz.
- We're in Hawaii.



They have real sharks here,
you idiot.

I'm off to claim my next victim.

[SCREAMS]

Okay, fellas, the grand opening
is next week.

You get to taste test
my menu items.

Today, we got shrimp jambalaya,
shrimp and grits, shrimp pupus,

shrimp kabobs, shrimp fried rice,
and for the keikis,

my classical corn-battered shrimp
on a stick.

Okay, you know why shrimp trucks
are so popular

is because people know what they
get when they go to one.

They're gonna get garlic scampi,
hot and spicy, lemon and butter.

Three flavors, not 31.

This island is crawling
with competition, man.

Diverse menu can only make
my product stand out



in this oversaturated market.

Now dig in the grinds,
and tell me what you think, please.

Jambalaya's got some kick.

- Mm-hm.
WHITE: Try it.

[COUGHS]

- You know what?
- Ha-ha-ha!

You got a cast-iron stomach.
That should be weaponized.

- You got any water in there?
- Sparkling or flat?

Seriously, I can't breathe.

- Anything.
- Coming right up.

McGARRETT:
Man.

I know you didn't call me here
just for lunch.

So, what's on your mind, son?

I need to know why my father
was meeting

with Wo Fat and Governor Jameson.

Okay. I need to know what was
being discussed on that video.

I told you. I got the DOD working
on extracting the sound,

but it's not an easy job.
The audio was scrubbed.

- It's been four weeks.
- Yeah, well, that's the DOD, son.

Nothing happens overnight.

Who's your guy in digital forensics?

- I'll give him a call and...
- No, that won't be necessary.

Just give me some more time
on this.

We'll have answers soon enough.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

McGarrett.

McGARRETT: What's cooking, Max?
- One right hand of a John Doe.

Murder victim,
approximately 30 to 40 years old.

Where's the rest of him?

The Coast Guard is dragging
the shorelines of Waikiki Beach

where the hand was found.

Why are we tagging this guy
a homicide?

This guy, it's a hand.
I mean, it could be shark food.

Well, blood had elevated levels of lead,
indicating the victim was, indeed, shot.

The hand was then
severed post-mortem,

by something sharp enough
to cut through bone.

Most likely a boat rotor cut
through a body dump.

[IMITATES BLADES CHOPPING]

All right, um, what are you doing?

MAX:
Well, we're dealing with a wet body.

So after 24 hours of submersion,
the skin separates from the dermis.

Try to roll a print,
and you only get a black smudge.

But the outer layer of the skin
actually maintains its ridging.

All you need is an extra set of hands,
and you're in business.

You're putting the guy's hand
on like it's a glove.

Max, that's disgusting.

Yes, but very effective.

Sweet. We got a hit.

The victim's name
is Blake Spencer.

Okay. Got a local address?

We were told Blake Spencer
lives here.

Sure. Rents the apartment
above the bar. Why?

Blake Spencer was found murdered
this morning.

Murdered?

- I don't get it. Such a good kid.
- How well did you know Blake?

Blake was a lot more
than just a renter.

I considered him a friend.
Ah, you see that cutlass?

That's Royal Navy.

Blake got that off
an 18th century British schooner

that sank off the Antilles.

Gave it to me as a thanks
for not going after him for back rent.

- So, Blake was a diver.
- Damn good one.

Best salvage diver
to walk through that door.

Salvage diver?
That's dangerous work.

Lucrative too.

Blake found wreck sites
all over the world.

He had collectors lining up
to buy from him.

So why is he living in an apartment
above a bar?

Moved back to Hawaii
after his mom got sick.

Had to put her in a rest home
near Waipahu.

You know, that didn't keep him out
of the water, though.

From what I could tell,
he was going after a new wreck.

He tell you what it was?

Nah. But if Blake was interested in it,
it had to be something big.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Thanks.

MAN: I'll be downstairs if you need me.
DANNY: Lovely place.

I'll get Lori to track down
the mother.

All right, what's missing here?

Besides a box spring, a television,
anywhere to sit, I have no idea.

Blake traveled the world,
diving shipwrecks

and looking for hidden treasure.

Don't you think
he would've kept something?

Well, he's got a sick mother to support.
Maybe he had to sell everything.

Or he was sinking everything
into his next treasure hunt.

Guy maxed out his credit card

on boat and equipment rental.
12 grand alone last month.

You know, this is generally
not the kind of reading material

you'd find under a mattress.
Looks like code for stuff.

McGARRETT: I'll bet they're
navigational coordinates.

Blake probably encoded them
to protect his dive sites.

A lot of trouble to go through.
Must be something pretty valuable.

[WATER GURGLING]

Hey, you hear that?

- Huh?
- Listen.

[MACHINERY HUMMING]

[DANNY SIGHS]

The treasure Blake was looking for,
looks like he already found it.

Yeah.

And it might have got him killed.

LORI:
Excuse me, Mrs. Spencer?

I'm Officer Lori Weston.
Is it okay if I come in and talk to you?

Please, come in.

Can I get you something to drink?

- Or eat?
- Oh, no thank you.

I have a sandwich here.

My son likes one when he gets home.

Your son?

- You mean Blake?
- Yes.

He should be home any minute.
He's always so hungry after school.

- Blake's still in school?
- Sixth grade now.

His teachers say he's one
of the smartest in his class.

- Do you have children?
- No, ma'am. I don't.

Well, you have plenty of time for that.

Did you say you wanted to talk to me
about something?

Is something wrong, dear?

DANNY:
It's amazing.

I mean, one day, you are the
king of the ocean, right?

The next thing you know,

you are hanging from
the ceiling in a museum

and little children are looking
at your private parts.

Yep. It kind of puts things
in perspective.

WOMAN:
Excuse me.

Five-0, right?
You called about the coins?

Yeah, I'm Steve McGarrett.
This is Detective Williams.

- Danny, please.
- Hi. Dr. Gabrielle Asano.

I'm the museum's curator of historic
and cultural affairs.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.

Very nice to meet you.

- Danny. Coins.
- Huh?

Oh, I'm sorry. Um...

- Ahem. Ever seen anything like this?
- What's the matter with you?

As a matter of fact,

I have.

The Princessa Del Mar
was a Spanish trade galleon

lost at sea in 1682,

after it came under cannon fire
from English pirates.

These coins are from that wreck.

So a Spanish galleon?

Is it possible that something like that
could've sunk in local waters?

Absolutely. The galleon's believed
to have diverted here for repairs

after the pirate attack.

Divers have been looking
for the wreck for years.

So what you're saying
is whoever recovered these coins

may actually have found
the Princessa.

Pirate ships, cannon balls, treasure.

I thought this stuff only
happened in movies.

I can assure you,
the treasure is very real.

And very valuable.

Valuable.
How much are we talking about?

On the collectible market,

the coins would fetch
maybe a couple thousand. Each.

And the Princessa was believed
to be carrying several tons of them.

DANNY: Wow.
- That's a lot of money.

- That's a lot of motive.
GABRIELLE: Would you mind

if I held onto these for a while?

On behalf of the museum,
I'd like to authenticate them.

I'm sorry, but these coins are
evidence in a murder investigation.

Yeah, but, I'm thinking it won't hurt
to just give her one little coin.

Go ahead. It's fine.

DANNY:
It's just one coin,

- why lose your mind?
McGARRETT: Not losing my mind,

you wanna ask her out, ask her out.

- I'm just saying.
- Whoa, whoa.

Who said anything
about asking her out?

Come on. You left Dr. Asano a coin

so you have reason to go see her.

- It's fine.
- That's not true.

I left her a coin because she might be
able to help with our investigation.

Really?
You know what you should do?

You should ask her out for a coffee.

I don't want...
I'm not looking for a relationship.

Coffee's not a relationship.
It's a beverage.

That's not true. Every single
relationship starts with a cup of coffee.

Then it's dinner and a movie.
Next thing you're divorced,

moving to Hawaii to see your
daughter every weekend.

You need to talk to
a professional, okay?

I do. You.
And now the session's over.

The session's not over.

You need to get back on the horse
and coffee is a good place to start.

- What are we doing?
- I need to make a stop. Just wait here.

Hi, Cath.

- Thank you for meeting me.
- Yeah.

- I got that for you.
- Oh. Look at that.

Thank you.

[CATHERINE LAUGHS]

What do you need this time?

McGARRETT:
What do you make of this?

Now our victim was a wreck diver.

We think he may have been killed
at one of his dive sites.

If you're right about these
being coordinates,

the cipher should be easy to crack.
I'll run cryptography

- and let you know what I find.
- Mahalo.

See, this is usually the part where you
ask me out to dinner as a thank you.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
Anywhere you want. Okay?

But before you decide,
I, uh, need to ask you one more favor.

Sasabune. Omakase menu.

Yeah. Now what's the favor?

Fine. Um...

You remember Joe White?

- Your old commander?
- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I heard he's overseeing
SEAL Team training at Pearl now.

Yeah, he is. Uh...

Look, he submitted
a piece of intel for analysis, okay?

It's a video
I'm trying to pull sound from.

DOD has been sitting
on it for weeks now.

I was hoping you could
check the status for me.

Look, if the request came from Joe,
I'm sure it's being handled.

Could you just check? For me, please?

Do you think someone at DOD
is giving you the runaround?

I don't know.
I don't know what's going on.

Yeah, okay.

CHIN HO:
Good timing.

Coast Guard just recovered the rest
of Blake Spencer's body at sea.

Max found traces of helium
in the lung tissue.

So we know Blake was killed
right after a mixed gas dive.

- Which means deep water.
- Exactly.

And check this out.

McGARRETT:
He still had his dive bag on.

What is that?
There's something in there.

CHIN HO: I had everything sent to the
crime lab. Heading over there now.

Whatever's inside that bag
could lead us to our killer.

Good. Hey.
You get anything from the mother?

Not exactly.

- How'd she take it?
- I didn't tell her.

What are you talking about?

She's suffering
from Alzheimer's.

She thinks Blake's 11 years old.

There's no way
she'd be able to process it.

Uh, how'd the museum work out?

How'd it go, Danny?
How was the museum?

Enough, okay? Turns out, our victim
uncovered a major shipwreck.

We think somebody got hip
to what he was doing,

followed him to the site and killed him.

We need to find out who else
knew about the treasure.

An old wallet?

It's the only thing
I found in the dive bag.

And, last I checked,

17th century pirates didn't carry
leather wallets made in New York City.

- Right. So it belonged to Blake.
- I don't think so.

But based on the oxidation,

I'd say this thing was submerged
for at least 50 years.

I may be able to date it
more accurately

once I'm done processing these.

CHIN HO:
Wow, there was money inside it.

The wallet prevented the bills
from deteriorating completely,

but the ink is mostly gone. Either way,
he didn't get this off the Princessa.

So he could have been diving
another wreck when he was killed.

I'll let you know
when I'm done processing.

Yeah. Thanks, Charlie.

Hey.

Um, I need a favor.

This is my activity log
for the H.P.D. Database.

The login that's circled here

was made from an IP address
I don't recognize.

Now, I managed to back trace it
to a couple of proxies,

but I can't get past the VPN.
Can you help?

Chin.

If someone hacked into your account,
you need to notify department.

I will. If the threat's legit.

- Okay. I'll see what I can do.
- Thanks.

MAN: Thanks for the beer.
- Mm-hm.

Thanks for nothing.

Can I buy you a drink?

I seen you making the rounds.

- You a cop?
- Mm-hm. Lori Weston, Five-0.

- Jimmy Koller.
- Nice to meet you, Jimmy Koller.

Well, that's an interesting ring.
What is that?

- White gold or something?
- Oxidized silver.

Got it off the HMS Pegasus.

Right, thought you might be a diver.

You by any chance know
a Blake Spencer?

As well as the next guy.

Blake mostly kept to himself.
But I heard he was a real pro.

Hmm. You hear anything about him
diving the Princessa Del Mar?

No.

But I know a guy who's been hunting
the Princessa for years.

Sunk a lot of money
into finding it too.

And who might that be?

I'm Jesse Billings,
President of Voyager Marine,

a world leader in deepwater
shipwreck exploration.

Today I'm going to offer you
a once in a lifetime opportunity

to invest in what just may be
the greatest treasure hunt of all time.

For the past two years,
Billings has been pitching investors

on the hunt for the Princessa.
He's already sold millions in shares.

He had a lot to lose if someone found
the wreck before he did.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- At Voyager Marine,
- Detective Williams.

Our world-class team of researchers,
technicians, and divers

search the oceans for treasures
once thought lost forever.

Here's what I don't get.
With all the resources

Jesse had, how was Blake able
to beat him to the Princessa?

McGARRETT:
That's how. That's our dead diver.

Blake worked for Jesse Billings.

So he didn't discover the Princessa.
He stole the coins from his boss.

I bet Jesse was pretty upset

- when he found out about it.
DANNY: Thank you.

Problem with that theory,

just got off the phone with Dr. Asano
from the Bishop Museum.

The coins we found in
Blake's apartment are fake.

BILLINGS:
You think I killed Blake Spencer?

He's a mind reader. Yes.
That's what we think.

Why would I kill my best diver?

McGARRETT:
I'll tell you why.

Because Blake found out that
the treasure hunt you

hired him for was a scam.

Take a look at this photo.

- Where'd you get these?
- In Blake's apartment.

Those coins
are about as real as your tan.

You know what? I bet you haven't
even dipped a toe in the water in years.

But I have to commend you
on a somewhat elaborate scam.

It was good. You dump
a bunch of fake coins in the ocean.

Convince your investors that you
have found the Princessa Del Mar.

But you didn't find
the Princessa, did you?

Blake realized the coins were fakes,
and that's why he took them.

DANNY: You knew he would open
his mouth about it.

So you had to kill him.

I've, uh...

I've salted a few shipwrecks.

I admit that.
But I had no idea Blake knew it.

I swear.

CHARLIE: Got news on those bills.
- Great.

[SIGHS]

What is it?

CHARLIE: I traced that IP address
you gave me.

That login was made
from a home computer.

- Okay. Do we know the owner?
- Yeah.

It was Kono.

Kono was dismissed from the force.

What's she doing using
your password to access H.P.D. Files?

You know what?

That was me.

I was at Kono's house that day.

I used her computer to check up
on some casework.

- Thanks.
- Right.

So, what do we know
about these bills?

Took some work, but I
pieced one together.

CHIN HO: What is that, a five?
CHARLIE: Good eye.

It's pretty faded,
but there's still some ink there.

And wait till you see this.

The Hawaiian overprint note,
issued in 1942.

After Pearl Harbor,
the decision was made

to pull all the paper money
on the islands

and destroy it, replacing it with this.

- Why?
- Because had the Japanese invaded,

they would have been able to seize
huge sums of U.S. Currency.

McGARRETT:
This way, the Federal Reserve

just declares the Hawaii-stamped bills
worthless. Problem solved.

CHIN HO:
The invasion never happened.

When the war ended,
the overprint notes were recalled.

Okay, how did Blake get this?

Not from the Princessa.
He must've been diving another wreck.

If that wallet was underwater
for 50 years,

he may have been salvaging a ship
that sunk during World War Two.

Hang on a second.
Catherine decrypted the coordinates

in Blake's notebook.

- Look where they fall.
- It's a straight line from O'ahu to Maui.

His wreck must have sunk
along a ferry or shipping route.

That's a lot of ground to cover.
Blake could've been killed

- at any of these sites.
- I may know how to find which one.

According to
Blake's credit card company,

he rented one of your salvage boats.

Yeah, most of my business
is wreck divers.

- He wasn't due back until tomorrow.
- Did he say where he planned to dive?

I didn't ask.
And he wouldn't have told me if I had.

Blake didn't talk to anybody
about his work.

Okay, Mr. Julian,
that boat is now a crime scene.

So, think you can help us
find where it is?

All my rentals are equipped
with tracking systems.

- Just a second. I'll pull it up.
- Okay, perfect.

LORI:
Great.

- Is there a problem?
- Transponder isn't working.

- Must be busted.
- Or Blake disabled it

because he didn't want
anyone following him.

Okay, listen to me. Give me the tags
and a description of the boat.

If Blake's killers haven't sunk the boat,
it's gotta still be out there somewhere.

[DISPATCH RADIO CHATTERING]

DANNY:
Now, let me ask you a question.

If a woman leaves the relationship
status on her profile page empty,

does that generally mean
that she is single or that she is taken?

Is this about the hot doctor
from the museum?

You should ask her out.

What did he talk to you about this?
What are we, in high school?

- No, we're not, but...
McGARRETT: All right, guys,

Coast Guard just called.

They found Blake's boat
40 miles east of O'ahu.

Pilot says it is not moving
with the currents.

Oh. Even I know that means
the boat is anchored.

- That's right.
- So the site Blake was diving must be

- right below it.
- There's only one way to find out.

CHIN HO:
Whoa. Those are deep waters.

You'd be crazy
to dive there by yourself.

Yeah, that's why I'm taking a partner.

Partner?

Steve, glad you called.

Chin, it's not a good time.

I wanna know why you were using my
password to access H.P.D. Records.

I wanted to see my case file.

- Why?
- Because I wanna know

what they have on me,

see if there's a chance
of getting my badge back.

- You could've just asked me.
- You just got reinstated a month ago.

Last thing I wanna do
is cause you trouble.

You shouldn't even be here.

What the hell is he doing here?

MAPES:
Lieutenant Kelly.

It's nice to see
you got your badge back.

Yeah.

Some of us, well,
we weren't so lucky.

You got ten seconds to turn around
and go back to your car, Ray.

- You want me to leave, Kono?
- No.

MAPES:
Bye, bye.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Good old cousin Chin.

- He's back with Five-0, that right?
- Yeah.

And, uh, you used his password
to get me those H.P.D. Files?

I can't decide whether that was, uh,
really resourceful or incredibly stupid.

Look, Frank, you came to me
for access. I got you access.

Chin won't be a problem.

- I'll make sure of it.
- You better.

He starts poking his nose
where it doesn't belong,

that's gonna be a problem,
for all of us.

I might not, uh, handle it
as delicately as you.

[DISPATCH RADIO CHATTERING]

We got blood.

Gunshot spatter and a pool here
where Blake must've dropped.

Why right here, right?

Could have set up
while Blake was diving

and popped him when he got out.

Got a slug here. Nine mil.

Ah. Check out this trajectory.

The shooter had to be
on the boat for this to line up,

which means he either
forced his way on, or...

Or Blake trusted him enough
to have him on board.

So, uh, you hear anything back
from the DOD

about that surveillance video yet?

Still no word.

- What?
- I just can't shake this feeling

that there's something
you're not telling me.

Well, try harder.

When we break 150 feet, and the
narcosis sets in, you'll have enough

trouble keeping your head straight

without those thoughts
bouncing around in it. Understand?

- Yeah.
- I splash first.

We're gonna follow the anchor
line down. Stay close. Stay focused.

- Let's go see what Blake found.
- Yes, sir.

[DISPATCH RADIO CHATTERING]

DANNY: Max, you need a hand?
- Oh, thank you.

But it is against protocol for anyone
but the ME to handle the remains.

No. I don't wanna help.
There's actually a hand right there,

- if you wanna..."If you need a hand."
- That was very humorous.

Hey, guys, so the car is a late 1930s

Packard model ambulance,
military issue.

Guy could have been a soldier.

- I don't know. Max?
- Well, I can't answer that,

but I can tell you
that we have a full skeleton here.

It's male, roughly six feet tall.

As for the COD, well, it was nothing
nefarious. Just a few broken bones.

Any chance we can get an ID on him?

Well, teeth are intact.

However, if he is as old as the car
that we found him in,

then most likely we don't have
dental records that go that far back.

So IDing him would be a long shot.

We could always take him to JPAC.

They got x-rays and records
going back to the '30s.

So, this guy served,
he's probably in the system.

Let's hope so.
Blake died salvaging this car.

We need to see
why it was worth killing for.

Okay. Bag him up, kid.

- You're going with.
- Yes.

Did you know JPAC is the
largest forensics lab in the world,

and that it specializes exclusively
in post-mortem identification?

Which, incidentally,
is my favorite type of identification.

[MAX GASPS]

You need a paper bag or something?

[MAX GASPS]

Oh, sorry. It's just, this place
is like my Graceland.

Okay,

- but no souvenirs.
MAN: Gentlemen.

Hi, I'm Dr. Tallridge,
scientific director.

- Joe White.
- Max Bergman.

Max, welcome to JPAC.

Um, why don't we find a lab table,
and, uh, see what you got here?

All right, I searched archives for
The Advertiser and The Maui News.

Went all the way back to 1938.
No articles mentioning

- anything about a car lost at sea.
- I found something.

Naval History & Heritage Command.

These guys keep records
of every incident report ever filed.

This one's dated July 19th, 1942.

"A Navy transport vessel
was delivering supplies to Maui

when a big storm hit, sending
some of the cargo overboard."

"Including a 1939 Army ambulance."

- You found it.
- I did find it.

But it doesn't explain why Blake was
salvaging that car. I don't get it.

Maybe there's something
valuable inside.

No, I mean, according to this report,

the ambulance was
transporting a body for burial.

The deceased was
a Captain Robert S. Murphy.

- Think those were his remains inside?
- I don't know.

Bones in the front seat.

There was no casket in the back.

LORI:
Wait a minute.

I've seen this guy before.

SYLVIA: I was just a little girl
when my father died.

We were living in Maui.
He was stationed at Pearl.

After the attack,

it took a few days
until we heard that he'd been killed.

Dad was supposed to have
been buried in the family plot, but...

But he never made it home.

Not knowing where he was,
it always haunted my mother.

Haunted the rest of us too.

Mrs. Spencer, I'm so very sorry.

No family should ever have
to suffer through something like that.

- You've served. Haven't you?
- Yes, ma'am. Navy.

I can tell. You have
that look about you.

My son, Blake, wants to be a sailor
when he grows up.

I can't keep that boy
out of the water. Heh-heh.

[LORI CLEARS THROAT]

Mrs. Spencer.

- About Blake...
- Mrs. Spencer, thank you.

We'll be on our way.

But she still doesn't know
about Blake.

Better to tell her
when we have answers.

He was looking for his grandfather.

That's why finding that ambulance
was so important to him.

He wanted to give his mother closure.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

I understand why
it was important to Blake but

- why would somebody kill him for it?
McGARRETT: Joe, go ahead.

Steve, we got a
match on those remains.

All right. Did it come back
to a Captain Robert Murphy?

WHITE:
No. Docs ID'd our man

as Private Miles Brodic.

He served with the 27th Infantry
out of Schofield.

Beyond that,
I can't tell you much about him

because his file has been classified
for nearly 70 years.

Well, let's get it declassified.

A few months into his enlistment,
Private Miles Brodic

faced a court-martial
on multiple charges of petty theft.

He was dishonorably discharged
in May of '41.

After his discharge, Brodic took
a job at Kea Lani Cemetery.

He was there
when the bombs dropped on Pearl.

He was also there when
the government issued the order

to recall all the paper money
on the islands

and replaced
with Hawaiian overprint note.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Lori, Kea Lani Cemetery
is where all the recalled money

was sent to be destroyed.

They burned over $100 million
at the crematorium there.

WHITE: Actually not all the money
was destroyed.

According to the military,
2 million was siphoned off

by someone with inside access.

Brodic.

By the time the MPs got wind of it,
Brodic was long gone.

Anybody wanna guess
how he snuck the loot off the island?

Robert Murphy's casket.

Brodic knew it was going to Maui,
so he stashed his money inside of it.

Explains why somebody
would shoot Blake over it.

That money is still valid currency.

So we find that casket,
we find our killer.

Anybody want some shrimp mochi
for dessert?

- That's shrimp-flavored ice cream?
- Mm-hm.

- Huh. That's interesting.
- I'm full.

I'm good too. But thank you.

Shoots. I'll just leave the bill.

[MOTORCYCLE APPROACHES]

WHITE: I'll settle up with the big man.
- Thanks, Joe.

CHIN HO:
You guys are gonna wanna see this.

You remember Remo Julian?

Yeah, isn't that the charter operator
that Blake rented his boat from?

He's also a very accomplished liar.

Crime lab just finished
processing the boat.

They found the transponder intact

- and fully functional.
- Okay, so Remo's playing with us

- when he said it was malfunctioning.
- Mm-hm. It gets better.

I hacked into his system, pulled the
navigational logs for his entire fleet.

Turns out there were two boats
at Blake's dive sites

the night that he was killed.

Remo tracked Blake out there.

McGARRETT:
Remo Julian, Five-0.

CHIN HO: Clear.
- Clear.

I checked the rest of the floor.
Remo's gone.

DANNY: Steve! Hey!
McGARRETT: Danny?

I found Captain Murphy,
the vic's grandfather.

LORI: Remo took the money and
tossed the bones aside like trash.

CHIN HO:
It looks like he left in a hurry too.

McGARRETT: That's how he dried
the cash, right?

I got fresh blood on this bill.

That could mean
we have another victim.

LORI:
Take a look at this coffin.

Looks like it could have been
in our sunken ambulance.

CHIN HO: Doesn't look like Remo
Julian will be giving us any answers.

Looks like COD was
blunt-force trauma to the head.

Victim also shows signs of
defensive wounds

on his arms and his neck.

Wait, that's peculiar.

McGARRETT: What do you got?
- Subdermal bruising.

Looks like the fatal blow left
an indentation on the victim's skull.

Well, and it looks like our killer wears
a very unique ring.

Take a look at this.

That's the crest
of the HMS Pegasus.

- How'd you know?
- Because I met Remo's killer.

- Jimmy Koller.
LORI: That's an interesting ring.

What is that?

McGARRETT:
Go ahead.

[JIMMY GROANS]

Okay, listen.
There's a tiny, tiny chance

that you're gonna get out before
your 90th birthday.

But that window of opportunity
is closing rapidly. You understand?

Oh. Okay, window's closed. Thanks.

Wait.

Blake radioed Remo
from the wreck site.

Said he needed a winch
and a couple guys

to help dredge something up.

Right, because not often you find
a casket at the bottom of the ocean.

Especially one
with 2 million dollars in it.

And so how long before you
and Remo turned on Blake?

Remo and I were willing
to split the money three ways.

But Blake gave us some line

that the bones belonged
to his grandfather.

He was just trying to cut us out.

So you killed him,
then you killed Remo

so you could take the whole
2 million dollars yourself, right?

No honor among thieves.

Blake wasn't lying.

He didn't care about the money.
And that really was his grandfather.

He just wanted to bury the man,
put the past behind him.

Family plot's still in Maui.
VA's making arrangements

- to send the remains there for burial.
- All right. You notify the family?

Not yet. I wanted Sylvia
to hear it from me.

You tell her about Blake too?

She needs to understand
her son didn't die for nothing.

Because of what he did,
her father can finally be laid to rest.

It's small consolation, I know.

It's time like these,
all the little things help, don't they?

- Yeah.
- Listen, Lori,

I can make the notification
if you want.

Thanks, no.
I need to do this on my own.

It's not the first time I've had to tell
a parent they lost a child.

I just hoped
I'd never have to do it again.

Who's that?

That is an old friend.

- Excuse me a sec.
- Okay.

Hey.

Dinner is not until 8:00. And you,
I think you may be a little overdressed.

Actually, I'm gonna need to ask
for a rain check.

- Okay.
- Orders came in today and

I'm being sent
TAD to NAVCENT.

My flight for the Gulf leaves tonight.

- Tonight?
- Yeah.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

So...

McGARRETT:
Yeah.

Anyway, um, before I left
I just wanted to get back to you

about that thing
you asked me about.

Yeah.

I checked with the DOD,

and they haven't received

any intel requests
from Commander White.

- You sure about that?
- Yeah.

- I'm so sorry.
- Yeah.

I should probably go pack.

Yeah. Listen, uh, Catherine,
about this rain check, uh,

you're probably gonna get some leave
in the next few months.

Why don't we meet
somewhere halfway? I don't know.

Mumbai or something?

I like Indian food.

DANNY: I know, but if your mom
catches you up this late,

she's gonna kill us both, okay?

Go to bed. All right,
and I'm gonna see you really soon.

And I can't wait.

I'm gonna kiss you all over
your little monkey face, okay?

All right.

Danno loves you too, baby.

All right.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Detective Williams.

- What are you doing here?
- Uh, well, it's a nice night.

And I was wondering if you'd like
to get a cup of coffee with me.

[CHUCKLES]

I would like that.

[SIGHS]

Chin, I'm really not up
for a lecture right now.

Good. Because I'm not here
to give you one.

I'm here to apologize.

Everything you're going through
right now, I've been through myself.

Getting kicked off the force.

Dealing with disappointment,
the frustration, anger.

I remember what that felt like.

And I also remember
that the only person

who stood by me through all of it
was you.

You're not alone in this, Kono.

When you wanna talk,

I'll be here.

You never gave that video
to the DOD, did you, Joe?

No.

You know what?

I know he was your friend,

but he was my father.

Whatever it is you're trying
to protect me from,

I can handle it, you understand me?

Did you ever think
that maybe you're not the only one

I'm trying to protect?

What are you talking about?

Risk versus reward, Steve.

How much damage you willing to do
to your family, to your family's name?

Because whatever's on that video

is not gonna bring
your father back.

I need to know.
